Blake Beavan is headed for Frisco

Blake Beavan, the RHP the Rangers drafted out of Irving High in the 2007 first round, has been promoted to Double-A Frisco.

His first start is expected to be Monday in Midland. His first home start in Frisco is expected to be June 20.

Beavan was 5-4 with a 4.30 ERA in 12 starts (73 1/3 innings) for Class A Bakersfield. Beavan had 16 walks and 51 strikeouts and gave up 75 hits. Opponents hit .264 against him. In his last seven starts, Beavan has seven quality starts. He had a complete game, four-hit shutout on May 7 and has allowed 14 runs in his last 49 1/3 innings (2.55 ERA). Clearly, he's been improving.Source: rangersblog.dallasnews.com
